i decided to make this page since no one likes goodreads and the UIs of similar sites drive me up a wall
some of my favorite books are: slaughterhouse-five by kurt vonnegut, the last unicorn by peter s. beagle, the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald, moby-dick by herman melville, crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky, pride and prejudice by jane austen, and crush by richard siken.
i really like reading manga too but i log that on anilist.
most of my reading is done with physical copies, but i also have a kobo clara HD e-reader that i adore, especially in the case of huge books. it hooks up to libby with relative ease but as someone who largely prefers reading classics, these works tend to be in the public domain, so downloading them off project gutenberg and sending them to my kobo that way is much simpler. i use calibre for e-book library management. i really recommend getting a kobo (fuck you amazon!) if you like to read a lot and aren't married to a paper format.
